- Latest Review: An Unlamented Death by Mary Adler
Isn't it amazing how some books arrive just at the moment you need them the most?This poetry collection addresses a variety of personal and societal issues, and this makes it a suitable read for a wide audience. I was most impacted by the poems under the section "What It Is to Persevere." These lines, "I have a new commitment / No longer insecure or timid of my being / I pull back from the edge of darkness / Reclaim the brightness of my light / Our union now cemented / I enjoy just being with me, especially brought me some fresh energy and gave me the courage to move on. I am grateful for that.
Those are meaningful subjects. And I also always appreciate getting rid of unnecessary flourishes in poetry.Several poetic devices were used in this book, and I do appreciate that they were gauged. This served me a delicious text devoid of unnecessary sophistication, as can be seen in the poem titled "Truth Stands." It was fascinating how "truth" was metaphorically used to express fortitude. The book's contribution to social justice and upholding noble causes is notable. It calls for massive action to "unring" such antihuman bells as gun violence, racial discrimination, victimization of women, suppression of free speech, and environmental degradation. The pictures inserted between the poems added to the book's appeal.
What a powerful book! Thank you for your great review!

Sandra Leon-Gonzalez ably exhibits her prowess in her ' Finding My Wings'. The call to humanity to persevere, live and love and be free is an eye opener to all. These values are embedded in her appeal to be free from the burden of injustices. She advocates collective responsibility to end inhumanity.
Imagery is used to call to an end the social injustices like oppression of women and others. The review helps to bring out the relevance of the topic, ‘Finding my Wings', by simplifying the author’s message of calling the masses to reclaim their human respect and freedom.
I unreservedly find the book quite relevant to social cohesiveness. I long to start reading it soonest.
